On Ending “Slavery”

When dealing with language & euphemisms, it’s always better to be precise & draw distinctions. Anyone likening homosexuality to being Black or Latino is either woefully ignorant or being purposely deceptive. Two of those terms describe a race, the other describes a purposefully chosen behavior. That being said, I was watching the movie Lincoln last night with my family and had the following thought:

Homosexuals ARE like the slaves Lincoln freed: but they aren’t slaves to man…they are slaves to sin. And, while their sin is no greater or no lessor than any other sin (alcoholism, adultery, theft, etc.) the push for its acculturation & normalcy within our society & school system elevates it to a greater sin by far. So, by all means, let us continue to share Christ’s Gospel with them…so that they may be emancipated & set free.
